Light-weight astronomical N-body/SPH analysis for python

Project description

[Pynbody](https://github.com/pynbody/pynbody) is a light-weight, portable, format-transparent analysis framework for N-body and hydrodynamic astrophysical simulations supporting PKDGRAV/Gasoline, Gadget, N-Chilada, and RAMSES AMR outputs.

Written in python, the core tools are accompanied by a library of publication-level analysis routines. For a quick tour of some of the features, have a look at this [IPython notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/pynbody/pynbody/blob/master/examples/notebooks/pynbody_demo.ipynb).

### Getting started

If your python with distutils is installed and properly configured, you can simply do:

` $ git clone https://github.com/pynbody/pynbody $ cd pynbody $ python setup.py install $ cd .. $ python >>> import pynbody `

If this fails, you may need some more detailed [installation instructions](http://pynbody.github.io/pynbody/installation.html). Once you have the package instlaled, try the introductory [tutorials](http://pynbody.github.io/pynbody/tutorials/tutorials.html). The full documentation can be found [here](http://pynbody.github.io/pynbody/).

### Support and Contact

If you have trouble with Pynbody or you have feature requests/suggestions you can [submit an issue](https://github.com/pynbody/pynbody/issues), and/or shoot us an email on the [Usergroup mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/pynbody-users).
